Adelaide V Collingwood - MCG - Saturday Night

[Moonwatcher]

against Collingwood we take our shots at goal from around the 50 m arc. So lets hope the wind dies down or Collingwood don't flood as much.

 

[pjcrows]

The wind will play a huge part.

Collingwood defeated us in Rnd 19 with superb disposal efficiency. Something like 80% I think - I know it was a record for the year. They won't be able to cut through the zone as easily in this wind.

On the flip side, our game is built from the backline using quick delivery wide and then through the middle, which relies on precise skill.

What was that about? He's being positive.
Nerves getting to you, too.

Ehhh????

My skimming of a paragraph has failed miserably it seems.

Sorry Carl.

And yes my nerves are killing me. I really wished there was an afternoon game to kill the time. Can't belief still six hours till bouncedown (WA TV times).

Might need to hit the piss to try knock out a few hours.

 

[pjcrows]

Will need numerous beers soon. Nerves killing me.

Any Melbourne based crowies, what's the weather doing? If it's anything like during last night's game will be tough.

No worries, that_dood.

There was more than a hint of tongue in cheek action with my posts this week, combined with a little bit of devil's advocate. And throw in some need to pass-the-time as well... please don't take all of my posts at face value! I haven't put a cent on Collingwood and won't.

Just for the record, the gut might say Collingwood, but of course I hope we will win tonight. I think we can too and, if successful, we will give Geelong a damn good run for their money next week.

It was a good hard fair week of BigFooty banter.

Still a few more hours to go if you want to fire me up!!!

 

[crows dude]

Wow

I am pumped. Being walking around the city of Melbourne all day now I am back at the hotel for two hour rest and big footy time before walking down to the G.


CMON THE CROWS

 

[premiers06]

Just got back from Smith street today and was just amazed by the amount of crows fans around I felt like i was in Adelaide!!

I heard that there is approximately going to be 20,000 crows supporters tonight which I think is really fantastic and I have to say kudos to your fans for making the effort to come and with 20,000 (estimated) crows fans at the game tonight will make it an amazing final series match and will make it a lot of fun.

You guys definately have a lot better supporters than those power supporters

Yep! A loyal and passionate bunch of supporters the Crows have! Many of us will do a lot to see the Crows play in a final out of SA.

Do you hear that rumbling sound? ... the army is on the move

Sorry, I thought it was them f**ting from fear

 

[Cap]

Do you hear that rumbling sound?

That's the sound of 80 thousand black and white supporters making their way to the MCG

Lock up your cars and daughters.. the army is on the move

yeah but how many will actually get into the game..... they have to pay for those seats tonight

I thought pay day was Thursday? Silly me.

 

[pjcrows]

Don't feed the troll.

Windy and overcast now but still pretty warm. Might be chance of some rain tonight.

Or we'll steal them!

 

[Smoooothy]

Calm down precious, bit of friendly rivalry.. enjoy the night.. one of us starts looking to trade week in a few hours.. may as well have some fun

nothing wrong with this. harmless fun

and anyway, there might be 80k cheering for collignwood tonight, but i reckon the rest of the 4.5 million people in vic will be hoping for a straight sets exit!!

 

[Buccaneers]

im pumped up for this match and expecting a very tight contest. seems to have been too much emphasis on media about Collingwood midfield this week with Swan , Didak, Davis its as if they are the best midfield in the competition but no way near the standard of geelong and the saints. Don't they realise we are just as good with the likes of Vince, Thompson, Mackay, Dangerfield and including the trio of Mcleod, Goodwin and Edwards? the crows have achieve more then i expected and through the developments of our youth this is a golden opportunity that cannot be missed.....crows by 18

 

[Sir Vlado]

Oh noes!

 

[sbenno]

That truly is the face of Satan.

 

[PCORF]

That truly is the face of Satan.

Nowhere near Satan!

 

[Sir Vlado]

It's the face of a guy who evidently has had too many beers last night.

I would venture to say Joffa probably has a few too many beers before every Collingwood game.

 

[Sir Vlado]

This morning actually.. but lets not quibble

He drinks before and after a Collingwood game! Whether it be for jubilation or despair! Hopefully the latter will be the reason for his drinking!

He's the original over 45 party animal!
